| The planet Aleer, an Earth-like world relatively close (on a cosmic scale) to the [[Union of Sol|Sol]] system, gave rise to an intelligent humanoid species that would someday be called the Mechalus by humans (who have a penchant for putting their own names to everything they encounter). The early history of the Aleerins follows much the same path as that experienced by Earth's humans--primitive tool-makers eventually built great civilizations, with periods of enlightenment crudely puncuated by episodes of brutal warfare. Eventually, the development of technology led to the invention of computers--and this is where the technological evolution of Aleerins and humans sharply diverged. Strides in [[Medicine|medicine]] and [[Genetic Engineering|genetic engineering]], coupled with their computer know-how and their fascination with all things mechanical, gave the Aleerins the means to bio-engineer their species. Cybernetic implants performed on a molecular level produced a synthesis of flesh and circuitry that now pervades the entire species--they are born with cyberbionics. | The planet Aleer, an Earth-like world relatively close (on a cosmic scale) to the [[Union of Sol|Sol]] system, gave rise to an intelligent humanoid species that would someday be called the Mechalus by humans (who have a penchant for putting their own names to everything they encounter).

| It was about this time that the species also developed space travel. Within a few generations, they had totally settled their solar system--but this breakthrough had its shameful side. Aleerins had always been a warlike species, and this behavior was never more evident than when they made contact with the sentient but primitive natives of another planet in the system. In response to a hostile reception from these creatures, who were barely able to defend themselves, the Aleerins used their heavily armed ships to obliterate the population of the planet. | It was about this time that the species also developed space travel.
